You can have almost 100% tests coverage and green tests and still have a plane crash and LLMs shilling with you that everything is ok. To me it seems we havent learned yet tests coverage means nothing without solid code

Totally agree. But I have the feeling damage has already been done, like full oop back then. To be precise I don't think oop was a total mistake, rather being maximalists about it was a mistake like with AI. I am so pessimist that I be

Right don't do that then when you have a floating point problem or an integer overflow let's see if your ability as a mathematician helps or if you need to know the machine and the code

We still need to discuss this things for real? Aren't they already taken for granted after all this "experimenting" with LLMs? I'm wondering when we will discuss hand coding again without treating it like a taboo anymore

I purchased a new a hybrid car a year ago. It is impossible to deactivate permanently speed limit and lane alerts. They are useless, dumb and dangerous if you ask me. Detecting a 40km/h on the highway from a road sign on a near by road

The very fact we need to discuss that it's a sign that we lost and slop has won. Learning to code it's a journey that never ends, after almost 15+ years I feel like I still learn and that my code sucks, if I delegate everything to

can keep failing til you're tired of having the agent running in loops, as I said it doesn't matter, agent tools are more effective with models trained with a lot of elm examples

In what era spinning up a PoC required a week of work? Especially on the web. I've been a developer for roughly 20 years and that has never been the case, to the point that I believe people impressed by LLMs are the same who had a very

The problem exist, the conclusion is wrong. LLMs DON'T produce great content, they PRETEND to produce great content, even in coding. They're as good as the statistical incidence. Writing a book with an LLMs, like with code, could

How many people would use audio interfaces in public places or offices? No one would share with everybody what he wants to do. GUI are there for simplify interactions too, it's just we forgot how to implement them well
